As a child of the 70's and living close enough to my grade school that I could go home for lunch, The Flintstones were a daily staple of my lunch time activities.
There was this one particular episode where Fred got hold of his Granpa's "Stone World War" Diary. Fred starts to read it to Barney and the adventure Fred relays is about a combat mission his Granpa got caught up in. Granpa Flinstone described it this way: The situation was desperate, but not hopeless.
The phrase has always stayed with me and it certainly is an apt way of encapsulating the current state of the Raptors. 'Cause yes, the losses were mounting, the season was shrinking, a 7-game, 13-day Western road swing was looming. Absolutely the situation appeared to be desperate, but apparently the Raptors were never without hope. And pride. And Heart. And Defence. And Toughness. And FVV.
This Episode of The Puck & Hoop Podcast is a little different - it's all Hoop, specifically Raptors.
Because the Raptors are playing desperate basketball and that means there might be reason to hope.
Enjoy Episode 15.
